Officials say a person or persons shot and abandoned two pit bulls near the intersection of Pico Road and Highway 25 in Washington Parish Sunday..

The pit bulls struggled to hold on to life following the shooting and were later euthanized by the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, officials say.

Officials say the location of the incident is a common place for unwanted animals to get left behind, and Washington Parish has no parish-wide animal control facility.

"The Humane Society of Louisiana, Tangi Humane Society and Washington Humane Society have partnered to catch those responsible for this horrible act of animal cruelty. We thank the Tangi Humane Society and Washington Humane Society for taking an active role and offering their support in this active investigation," said Humane Society of Louisiana Chief Field Investigator Beau Gast.

Anyone having information is asked to call the Humane Society of Louisiana at 888-6HUMANE or the Tangi Humane Society at 985-351-0181.
